        <p>
          The X session starts on the first unused virtual terminal, normally
          vt7. You can switch to another vt<span class=
          "emphasis"><em>n</em></span> simultaneously pressing the keys
          Ctrl-Alt-F<span class="emphasis"><em>n</em></span> (<span class=
          "emphasis"><em>n</em></span>=1, 2, ...). To switch back to the X
          session, normally started at vt7, use Ctrl-Alt-F7. The vt where the
          command <span class="command"><strong>startx</strong></span> was
          executed will display many messages, including X starting messages,
          applications automatically started with the session, and
          eventually, some warning and error messages. You may prefer to
          redirect those messages to a log file, which not only will keep the
          initial vt uncluttered, but can also be used for debug purposes.
          This can be done starting X with:
        </p>
        <pre class="userinput">
<kbd class="command">startx &amp;&gt; ~/.x-session-errors</kbd>
</pre>
        <p>
          When shutting down or rebooting, the shutdown messages appear on
          the vt where X was running. If you wish to see those messages,
          simultaneously press keys Alt-F7 (assuming that X was running on
          vt7).
